Abstract
Natural materials have recently been used as reinforcing compounds. Natural fibres used as reinforcements include aloe vera and dharbai fibre. These fibres, as reinforced composites, require particular treatment to promote interaction with their matrices. This current investigation aims to resolve the combinational effect of sodium bicarbonate-based surface enhancement behaviour on the mechanical attributes of Aloe vera and dharbai-based hybrid natural composites. Both reinforcements were immersed in a 5–10% weight ratio sodium bicarbonate solution for an extended period of time to achieve the goals. Normally, the compression moulding system was utilized to fabricate the composites. The findings of this study have a favourable impact on the interaction of fibre and matrix, enhancing the composite strength. Compared to untreated fibre, a 10% sodium bicarbonate solution treatment yields positive outcomes for all mechanical properties (tensile and flexural). Furthermore, increasing the percentage resulted in small changes to the glass transition and through maximum altitudes. Examining the worn surface of composite materials validated the beneficial influence of the specified percentage of chemical solution.
